Nah, I'm just a boring old child-turned-woman child. :/

Speaking of her, I have to say, I've been growing rather fond of Condiment Head lately.

@Weekend mostly spent a lot of time playing Tomadachi and Kirby Triple Deluxe.And some Mario Kart 8 as well.Also watched the new episode of Space Dandy which got real intense,esp. at the end.

@"Condiment Head" I'm still a little skeptic of her.I'm hoping the writers can make her more likeable in the sequel and truly convince me Sunset is a good guy.

Yeah,far from it Gwen(though its hard to find a poster on here thats slightly ordinary).

[up][up][up]Considering what Sunset did before and during the events of the 1st film,I don't feel the scorn towards her is undeserved.She's bullied many,then mind controlled the entire school minus Twilight,Spike and the Humane 5 and nearly killed the heroes.Her hatred from the students isn't completely undeserved.

Well I'm not as interesting as a unicorn posing as a human. Of course, if I were a unicorn, why would I want to be human.

I agree that Sunset's scorn is kinda earned. From the vibe I'm getting from the trailers, she might end up pulling a Win Back the Crowd, at least in-universe. I'm hoping that the movie doesn't make her the Decoy Protagonist until Twi shows up. But I'm hoping for at least her being a Supporting Protagonist. Plus I've been having fun brainstorming her character and backstory for a possible fanfic, but that's on hold until I get around to seeing Rainbow Rocks.

She's grown on me a lot since the first time I saw EQG. I was honestly kind of hoping they'd stick with her as the main protagonist of the EQG-verse going forward instead of trying to find ways to shoehorn Twilight back into it.

@Dark: Agreed. It's pretty clear that she feels like an ass about what she did in the first movie and realizing that nobody likes her as a result.

I think I mentioned back on the EG thread that I wanted this movie to end with Twilight Passing the Torch to Sunset and officially making her the hero.

Twilight's like: "Sunset, I'm so proud! You've finally discovered the magic of friendship! Now, this universe is your problem! BYEEE!" -jumps through portal-

Yay someone agrees. She was a bitch in the first film yes. But she did get redeemed at the end. It's understandable why many think she was faking it, but feels like many act like her behavior is just more of the same and doesn't deserve any sympathy. I disagree. She seems to be actively trying to distance herself from her misdeeds and move on, and is fully aware of the fact that nohuman likes her.

In particular her line as she shows the Dazzlings the school tour puts it best. "Got to get them used to the new me before they learn about the old me."

Also excited for the Maud cameo.

Considering we already went through the whole, "I'm reformed! Betrayal! Whoops, now I'm back to being good" with Discord in the season finale, I think it's a little early to rehash that plot point. So I think Sunny is a bit more genuine.

It'd be funny to see the Dazzlings pull a We Can Rule Together and Sunset responding with: "Hm, nah."

I wanna see Sunset as an antihero, still trying to figure out how this whole friendship thing works, and preferring to just hit the bad guys instead of friending them with magical artifacts.

Discord was reformed, it's just that Tirek unreformed him.

[up][up]That could be interesting.Maybe I'll write her as an anti-hero when I get around to doing that Hero-verse fic I've been wanting to do with MLP:FIM.

@Ike: I do like the idea that Sunset is more brash and volatile than Twi. Jeez, imagine if she were the star of FiM

I'm now imagining Sunset straight up slugging Fake!Cadence in ACW.

I don't think I'd enjoy the show as much if Sunset was at helm(same if it was someone like Trixie).

It'd get pretty repetitive if every weeks lesson was "you can't punch things to solve your problems''.

Speaking of punch things, the new Sailor Moon Crystal is out. I don't know what triggered that segway, but I'm going to go watch that now.

See ya later!

Never been much of a Sailor Moon fan(or the Magic Girl genre for that matter),but maybe when this reboot series is finished I'll give it a shot.

Anyways,I'm heading off to bed.Got school tomorrow,night guys!

I don't know if I'd say Discord is fully reformed after that episode. He sort of is, but it isn't until the S4 finale that he truly gets it.

It seemed pretty clear he wasn't really reformed that first episode of that arc. More like is friends with Fluttershy, so doesn't want to upset her by upsetting her friends. Indirect neutrality.
